Today marks a very delicious, precious, rare, fine, low-day in carbohydrate high life ~
The holidays warmed me up! Veteran that I am, it is like riding a bicycle, and I am having a smooth ride in no time!
Decadent concoctions triumph like golden effervescent champagne bubbles!

Now beyond the holidays, that I am having to wean myself though my days, there is this weird wiggle area where complete satiety must be met before I can move beyond this thing!  Cold turkey is working its way in certain ways, like cold turkey: no more apple pie!  I can drop apple pie like a hot potato!  Last year, when my back was hurt, I wanted apple pie from The Apple Pan.  I ate said apple pie.  The scale then spoke.  Irrefutably, if I am eating apple pie and french fries, my weight is high.

At the moment, that is fine.  My weight has been high all year, even without apple pie and fries.  Imagine.

By the time I bought two pies at the store for New Year’s weekend, and ordered fries at the skating rink at my son’s saturday game, I knew I was at my lowest and my very best!  4 days at home to take time to read a book, and exercise and mat work to my heart’s content, equally stretching and lengthening through chapters and muscle groups, with a break for pie, sprinkled with tart frozen yogurt and chocolate chips ~ and the delicacies were ample and decadent.

As the years go by and excessive carbohydrate consumption continues, blood sugar levels get higher and higher. The pancreas has to yell at the fat cells by secreting even higher levels of insulin. Eventually the cells with receptors for insulin stop listening and/or the pancreas stops secreting insulin. Blood sugar levels rise, and when they get above 125 mg/dL, type 2 diabetes is usually diagnosed. Unfortunately, people don’t get enough support during the time they’re heading toward diabetes; it’s only after their blood sugar hits disease-state levels that they get attention, often in the form of drug therapy.
